The world’s first “Earthship district” is currently constructed in the Netherlands.
The earthship concept is a prime example of environmentally friendly and sustainable building and living.
All environmental aspects are taken into consideration in this innovative yet simple (low tech) building concept. The reuse of existing materials in the construction phase as well as clean energy usage with zero or near-zero CO2 emissions, minimizes environmental impact. more about the project
